Human placental extract has wound healing potential. Immuno-blots revealed presence of laminin in placental extract (70 +/- 0.257 μg/ml; n=3). It was purified using immuno-affinity chromatography. SDS-PAGE and SEHPLC indicated a188 kDa protein with some small peptides. Since placental laminin existed in its truncated form, its roles in cellular migration, differentiation and wound healing were verified. Induction of cellular migration and motility in rat fibroblasts were enhanced by placental laminin as observed from scratch wound assay. Promotion of neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells by placental laminin was observed by phase contrast microscopy. Confocal images showed presence of laminin on the cell surface and along the axonal processes. Significant interaction between integrin receptors and laminin responsible for cellular differentiation was demonstrated from co-localization experiments. Union between integrin receptor and its synthetic antagonist revealed retarded pattern of neurite outgrowth in laminin treated cells. Animal model studies revealed faster wound healing in the presence of placental laminin. Induction of re-epithelialization and angiogenesis in wound area by cellular proliferation and adhesion were observed. The cytokine levels showed an initial rise and gradual fall over the duration of wound healing on application of the fragmented laminin. Thus, roles of placental laminin in neuronal differentiation and wound healing were indicated.

Objective: To determine the association of serum Vitamin-D levels and placental laminin expression in pre-eclamptic and normotensive women.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2018 to February 2021, in the Department of Anatomy, Basic Medical Sciences Institute (BMSI) in collaboration with the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics after the approval from Institutional Review Board (IRB), Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre JPMC, Karachi. The placentae were collected from 120 women, segregated into two cohorts as normotensive (NT) (n=60) and pre-eclamptic (PE) (n=60) and serum Vitamin-D levels measured.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a common pregnancy disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. Trophoblast behavior severely affect PE progression. Transcription factor Forkhead box protein P2 (FOXP2) was involved in cell migration and invasion, but its role in PE progression remains unknown.

The establishment of culture conditions to propagate self-renewing human trophoblast stem cells in long-term culture provides a paradigm for in vitro modelling of trophoblast. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a critical determinant of cell identity and behaviour. Therefore, models aiming to reproduce cells in vitro should recapitulate the native cell-ECM microenvironment.

Spinal cord organoids are of significant value in the research of spinal cord-related diseases by simulating disease states, thereby facilitating the development of novel therapies. However, the complexity of spinal cord structure and physiological functions, along with the lack of human-derived inducing components, presents challenges in the in vitro construction of human spinal cord organoids. Here, we introduce a novel human decellularized placenta-derived extracellular matrix hydrogel (DPECMH) and, combined with a new induction protocol, successfully construct human spinal cord organoids.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious pregnancy complication, and its primary clinical manifestations are gestational hypertension and proteinuria. Trophoblasts are responsible for the basic functions of the placenta during placental development; recent studies have revealed that placental "shallow implantation" caused by the decreased invasiveness of placental trophoblasts plays a crucial role in PE pathogenesis. The interaction between the cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a crucial role in trophoblast proliferation, differentiation, and invasion.
